When Susan Landau talks about cybersecurity, everyone should listen. In this episode of Tech Talk we hear from the esteemed cybersecurity expert about issues she addresses in her latest book, "Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age." Landau talks about how the ultimate goal should be for everyone to have access to easy-to-use encryption to make society as a whole more secure. She pushes back against the notion that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are “going dark” because of technology and advocates for new approaches to policing. Landau also shares some incredibly useful tips for organizations and individuals to navigate the insecure digital world.

In our 201st episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast, Stewart Baker, Brian Egan, and Nick Weaver discuss: unpacking the Nunes memo – quickly; China builds the Africa Union a totally pwned headquarters; Ninth Circuit sides with Twitter in ISIS terrorism support lawsuit; 28 fake advertising agencies to power giant malvertising campaign; while Twitter is awash in fake followers; are the Dutch paying the price for catching the Russians hacking the DNC?; more sex toy insecurity lawsuits; trade and cybersecurity; the European Union announces path forward for data protection in trade deals? the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries reportedly agree to include NIST cybersecurity principles in the digital trade chapter of a revised NAFTA. Our guest interview is with Susan Landau, Bridge Professor at the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy and School of Engineering, Department of Computer Science at Tufts University to discuss her newly released book Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age.

Cybersecurity expert and former Google privacy analyst Susan Landau on the increasing risks of not securing our data and devices and the threat from outside entities such as Russia and North Korea.

Technology presents both consumer convenience and risk, creating a conflict between security and privacy as government agencies seek to weaken the protections that consumers want heightened. Cybersecurity expert and advocate of liberal encryption policy, Susan Landau, explores this challenge and the need for maintaining cybersecurity in her new book “Listening in: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age.” Last week at the Hoover Book Soiree, Benjamin Wittes and  Susan Landau discussed the issues behind encryption, whether law enforcement can manage without signals content, the impact of end-to-end encryption on security, and much more.  

New technologies have provided both incredible convenience and new threats. The same kinds of digital networks that allow you to hail a ride using your smartphone let power grid operators control a country’s electricity—and these personal, corporate, and government systems are all vulnerable. In Ukraine, unknown hackers shut off electricity to nearly 230,000 people for six hours. North Korean hackers destroyed networks at Sony Pictures in retaliation for a film that mocked Kim Jong-un. And Russian cyberattackers leaked Democratic National Committee emails in an attempt to sway a U.S. presidential election.

The Hoover Institution hosts "Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age" on Wednesday, November 1, 2017 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm EST. Ben Wittes joined author Susan Landau, author of Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age, for a book discussion. (Playing time: 46:35)

What can the United States learn from Europe? One good answer, says Steven Hill, is social capitalism, a form of economic management that is responsive to markets and productive of broadly-shared prosperity. First known for his work on electoral reform in the United States, Hill began travelling through Europe in the late 90’s to study the use of proportional representation (PR) in European elections. Once there, his research agenda gradually broadened to include European approaches to healthcare, corporate governance, support for families, transportation, energy, media, and other policies that together constitute what Hill calls “The European Way,” as compared to “The American Way.” This comparison is laid out with clarity and a wealth of examples in Hill’s highly-readable book Europe’s Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age (University of California Press, 2010). In the first half of this interview, we discuss the compatibility of European healthcare systems with thriving economies, focusing on models from Germany for controlling costs and increasing transparency. Hill explains how Europe manages to maintain more Fortune 500 companies than the U.S. and China combined, while at the same time offering benefits to workers like paid maternity leave, generous vacations, paid sick leave, and low-cost child care. We also discuss CEO perspectives on codetermination–a form of corporate power-sharing among workers and management–in German companies like Deutsche Bank, Mercedes, and Volkswagen. In the second half of the interview, we take up the American side of the question. I ask Steven if European-style policies are only possible in small countries with PR, or if they are also possible in a large country without PR, like the United States. Hill describes what it would it take for U.S. states to enact similar policies and where, if anywhere, that is most likely to happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Guest Steven Hill, Director, Political Reform Program, New America Foundation, speaks with Diane Horn about his book "Europe's Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age."

A quiet revolution has been occurring in post-World War II Europe. A world power has emerged across the Atlantic that is re-crafting the rules for how a modern society should provide economic security, environmental sustainability, and global stability. During this time of economic crisis and global warming, how do the United States and members of the European Union really compare in terms of sustainable economic growth and trade, political engagement, social policy, and the deployment of renewable energy technologies? With a similar standard of living, universal health care and comprehensive social systems, and smaller ecological “footprint”, what lessons can the US learn from the European model? In his new book Europe Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age, Steven Hill explains Europe new vision, shatters myths, and shows how Europe leadership manifests in several major areas: economic strength, with Europe now the world wealthiest trading bloc, producing nearly a third of the world’s economy, almost as large as the U.S. and China combined; arguably the best health care and other social supports for families and individuals; widespread use of renewable energy technologies and conservation; and regional networks of trade, foreign aid, and investment that link one-third of the world to the European Union’s 27 member states and nearly a half billion citizens.
